    I had to dig a bit, but I found out the source poll’s threshold for “middle class”: 200% or more past the poverty line.

    The poverty line is about $15k for individuals. People making $30k a year are, clearly, not middle class. The current standard puts the beginning of middle class in the low $50k’s.

    This is doomer clickbait bullshit.
